Azure Identity and Access Management

3 Courses
3 Hours
Skill IQ

Build practical, hands-on skill with Azure identity and access management by creating, securing, troubleshooting, and designing identity controls using Microsoft Entra ID. This path moves beyond basic IAM awareness and gives you applied competence to manage identities, diagnose access issues, and design secure identity patterns with confidence.

Choose this path if you want a practical introduction to how Azure identity actually behaves in real environments. You will move from first identity configurations to diagnosing failed sign-ins and applying least-privilege design with Conditional Access and MFA.

This learning path is actively in production. More content will be added to this page as it gets published and becomes available in the library. Planned content includes:

**Ignition** - Ignition: Azure IAM - Diagnose and fix common IAM access issues (hands-on lab))

**Essentials** - Azure IAM Core Concepts (video course) - Azure IAM Troubleshooting (video course)

  • Multi-factor authentication (MFA)
  • Conditional Access policies
  • Identity-based access control

Prerequisites
  • You should have completed an Azure Fundamentals course or have equivalent experience using the Azure portal. You should understand basic cloud concepts and the purpose of identity and access management.
  • You should know what users, groups, roles, and authentication are at a high level. You do not need deep security or IAM expertise.
  • This path builds on that foundation and moves you from awareness to practical use. You will work with Microsoft Entra ID, Conditional Access, and identity troubleshooting through hands-on experimentation rather than introductory theory.
